"Do you agree with Mr. Felton. that all the roads have gone through a period of reconstructionT' "asked" Mr. Thorne. " "Not to the extent that the roads have been reconstructed." replied the witness. 'They have been, required to bear heavy expenses for maintenance. ' They . have had to pay high rates for' money. But they have not spent vast sums for re-' construction."

The work, how ever, is progressing slowly. There Is a report, not wholly confirmed, that a battery explosion aboard the F-4 on March ( caused serious damage. Rear Admiral Charles B. T.
